Music and lyrics by Patty Griffin
From the album Living With Ghosts
Chords by Timothy M. Toole (TMichaelT@aol.com)
EADGBE
(Capo at 2nd fret)
D
Diamonds, roses,
A
I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness,
GD
Part this red river of pain.
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness,
AGD
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will die.
AGD
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near,
AGD
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer.
AGD
So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here,
AG
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is a queer.
D
Everytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,
A
But I he never ever asks a single thing about me,
G
If I die, he'd hear about it eventually.
D
Diamonds, roses,
A
I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness,
GD
Part this red river of pain.
AGD
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near,
AGD
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer.
AGD
So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here,
AG
Go home to an empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queer.
D
Diamonds, roses,
A
I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness,
GD
Part this red river of pain.
